Summary
The Yaksha was not built to be gentle. His hands were made to wield a weapon; he was raised and trained to fight and defeat, to not flinch at the sight of blood staining his clothes. He was a warrior, tainted by his kamic debt and cursed to always kill, to eventually go mad. His body was not accustomed to being gentle.
But Aether never saw him as any of this. The traveller saw him as he was, a warrior who went through hell and crawled his way out, an adeptus who battles his own demons every day, along with following his duty as Liyue’s last remaining yaksha. This is why Xiao finds it easy to try and be gentle, to try and use his hands for more than violence.

The story of The Traveler and the Vigilant Yaksha, two beings who learn how to be merely Aether and Xiao alongside eachother.

Summary
Suddenly, the bathroom light turned on, causing Kevin to snap his unfocused eyes to the door and catch a glimpse of grey sweatpants and a black hoodie.
"Kevin?” A voice said, scratchy from sleep and whispering. “What the fuck are you doing?”
Kevin froze; he knew that voice, and the blur of blonde hair only confirmed his guess.
“Aaron,” he mumbled, knowing the difference between the twins immediately.

Some nights, Kevin can't sleep. Memories of dark hallways and 16-hour days flashing through his mind every time his eyes close, keeping him awake. He sometimes ends up on the bathroom floor, living through his worst nightmares.
And one night, Aaron joins him.
